JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A pep membership’s “nation” theme, for which some pupil followers dressed like cowboys for a basketball sport in opposition to a faculty from Alaska’s solely Indian reserve, wasn’t meant to be “racially provocative,” however it had a detrimental impact that was “predictable and may have been prevented,” in accordance with the findings from an investigation of the incident launched Friday.
The investigation was carried out by the Ketchikan Gateway Borough College District following a Feb. 5 sport between the Ketchikan Kings and the Metlakatla Chiefs.
